<p>It's a tough world out there. Many women find themselves shouldering the burden of a family alone. You may wonder if it is possible for a single mother to support her family on a single income. The truth that we all know, however, is that anything is possible. Here are some tips to help single moms make it on a single income.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Live on a Zero-Base Budget</h2>
<p align="center"><a href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Zk032S8hxsXqak3OvnMmNDNrIUXAGiIm22BswJH0Drp37ck2xeUiP2*muV30eA2MobJY9L7TCGhi8h5stMC9YOhu6Xna0FMg/accounting2.JPG" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Zk032S8hxsXqak3OvnMmNDNrIUXAGiIm22BswJH0Drp37ck2xeUiP2*muV30eA2MobJY9L7TCGhi8h5stMC9YOhu6Xna0FMg/accounting2.JPG?width=750" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>This is an obvious one, but finding ways you can reduce your expenses can free up some of your funds. The more funds you have available, the quicker you will be able to accomplish the following steps. Finding ways to save money begins with knowing where that money is going. Zero-based budgeting requires you to list your income at the top of the page, and then allocate every dollar of that income to the various expense categories like savings, housing, clothing, utilities, transportation, insurance, food, etc. Software like <a href="https://www.mint.com/">Mint</a> and <a href="https://www.everydollar.com/">everydollar</a> makes this process easy and intuitive. Taking this one simple step will have the same effect on your finances as getting a 20 percent raise.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Have an Emergency Fund</h2>
<p>If you have no fund at all, put away $1,000 as quickly as you can. This will give you a cushion should some unexpected minor disaster befall you. Having a cushion will prevent you from having to go into debt and one big rule of thumb, no matter who you are, is to avoid debt.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Pay Off Your Debts</h2>
<p>Debt payments are eating up a chunk of your income every month and endangering your family’s financial future. We know we should avoid debt, but if you already have debt, get rid of it as quickly as possible. Doing so will free up more of your income for other things like bulking up your savings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Zk032S8hxsUrYEJRyEUKTy9CJGVz7WCoB41RnMP8RZEpT*81OeTCUjJ*LHm*7yVgNe-K4DeMX*Bi3Mp4eofMo8bwhqaSD95B/creditcards2.JPG" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Zk032S8hxsUrYEJRyEUKTy9CJGVz7WCoB41RnMP8RZEpT*81OeTCUjJ*LHm*7yVgNe-K4DeMX*Bi3Mp4eofMo8bwhqaSD95B/creditcards2.JPG?width=750" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>If your current debts already outpace your ability to pay, it may be time to look at getting legal forgiveness for debts. Bankruptcy is never a fun option, but a Chapter 13 might help you to stay in your home and keep your family off the street, according to <a href="https://wantafreshstart.com/las-vegas/chapter-13-bankruptcy-attorney/">Want a Fresh Start</a>. Of course, you should pay your bills if you can, but paying off debt (or even staying current on debt) takes a back seat to keeping your kids’ fed and clothed.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2>Bulk Up Your Savings</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Zk032S8hxsVyiq*uMhoo844jqckl0U8986AOYfvLtHGat3v07ijgI2LuzenEFfBHxgAKdXoSFIjIFIpwNpnaGY0oLqwF1iZ7/moneyinabriefcase.jpg" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Zk032S8hxsVyiq*uMhoo844jqckl0U8986AOYfvLtHGat3v07ijgI2LuzenEFfBHxgAKdXoSFIjIFIpwNpnaGY0oLqwF1iZ7/moneyinabriefcase.jpg?width=750" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>Once your debts have been paid off and the only expenses you have are your home, insurance and utilities, it is time to take the extra money you now have every month and put it into other places. Those places include specific savings accounts for things like your kids’ college funds, retirement, big ticket items you need for your home and beefing up your emergency fund to include six months’ worth of income. Being able to pay cash for your big-ticket items and for your emergency expenses will help you to avoid debt going forward.</p>

<p><br/> If you are a single mother, the question you should be asking is not, “Is it possible to make it on one income?” You don't really have a choice at this point. The question you should be asking is “How do I make it on one income?” These tips can give you a road map.</p>Natural treatment for Gynecomastiatag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-26:988554:BlogPost:17840462017-09-26T15:45:16.000ZLinda Grieshttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/LindaGries

You do not need to take hormonal therapy since it can be too expensive and there is the risk of developmental problem when the therapy may go wrong. You can reduce estrogen when you reduce processed meat, when you avoid microwaving food which is wrapped in plastic containers or bags, when you eat green vegetables like kales and spinach or if you eat organic foods without pesticides.</span></p>

<p>This powerful and inspirational story begins with an unhappy seventeen year old Bren struggling to put on a brave face to the world, whilst having to deal with more than her fair share of personal and emotional issues at school, with her boyfriend, and family.</p>
<p>Angry and resentful of the labels her family have been given, she desperately tries to help her mother and sisters as they all live under the tyranny of her drunken father. However one day everything changes when Bren discovers that her aunt and a friend are back in Silverton…</p>
<p>Until then her only sanctuary had been with her school friends Luci and Robyn. However, as her home life becomes more perilous, Bren reluctantly finds herself placed under the protective wing of her paternal grandmother GG. A stranger to Bren in many ways, and distant whilst she grew up, Bren soon discovers that GG is not the person she imagined, and that the rumours and accusations which she had heard whispered about GG are false.</p>
<p>Slowly, insidiously, an evil presence has risen in Silverton, capturing the souls of the townsfolk and turning them into other things, evil creatures, who are forced to carry out horrendous acts, the question is, is it possible to defeat the evil one, and bring peace again to the town, and if so, how?</p>
<p>As she is welcomed into GG’s home where her Aunt Falon, and Falon’s friend the ethereal Lael live, along with Moses and Miriam, Bren’s eyes are opened to the spiritual world of the Lightens. Through their teachings, she realises how their absolute faith and trust in God has strengthened, protected and moulded the lives of every member of her family, each in unique ways, so they can stand united when their time comes to be called to fight in his name.</p>
<p>Becoming absorbed into the Lighten way of life, Bren soon begins to understand the strength and humility she must obtain through reading and prayer to open herself to God’s will, follow his lead, and enter his service. However, the question is, will she be strong enough, and be able to find it in her heart to do what she must ultimately do, when she is called?</p>
<p>This is a powerfully inspiring story as the spirit of Bren is in all of us, lost souls, unsure of our path in life, not knowing what to do, and who to believe, or whether to fight or run, and needing guidance. As the author reveals, it is only when we read the word of God, fully understand his messages, and then open ourselves up fully to his teachings and guidance that we can truly find the peace and the strength to go forward in life.</p>
<p>Not only is this book a wonderful story which can be enjoyed by all, but it is also truly beautifully written and motivating. Each of the characters have their own special story to tell and as this book came to a close, not only did I feel sad that it had ended, but also incredibly at peace.</p>
<p>At the end of this book are some of the amazing recipes from Alicia and GG mentioned in it, and also an extra special one from the Remedy Room which I can’t wait to try!</p>

<p><strong>Is Copper For Your Glasses And Mugs Safe?</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is a normal question especially when you are serious about getting the copper glasses and mugs that you want to use every day. Despite having the name copper, they actually have no risks to the health. The body itself has copper and it is one of the important components that some enzymes use in order to keep functioning in the body. Many people from before have stored their water using copper containers and still lived to tell the tale.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In all honesty, copper actually increases the taste as well as the aroma of what you are drinking. You can also use copper mugs and glasses if you want to keep your drink cold for a long amount of time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>How You Can Clean Your Copper Glasses</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. Rinse the copper mug using warm and water with soap</p>
<p>2. Dry the mug immediately after washing it</p>
<p>3. In order for the mugs to last long, clean them at least 30 seconds after using them</p>
<p>4. When it has tarnish and you want to use it again, use salt and lemon juice, then using a toothbrush, you can scrub the tarnish away</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Buying Your Very Own Copper Mugs</strong></p>
<p> Sometimes, it can be a challenge to find the copper mugs that you like. You can’t even find them in your local stores, or shops near you. They are not that hard to find, however, you should also be aware of which shops usually sell them. Try to look online for shops that sell copper related utensils so that you have an idea about their price range and can compare them later on.</p>

However, tricky it may seem, it is manageable. There are many tips you can follow to ensure that you get the right carpet for your house. Before you settle for a specific rug, it is important to check your room space as well as think of how you are going to design the space around your rug. This is regardless of whether you are restructuring your interior or creating a whole new interior.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.zakianrugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Tips-for-Choosing-an-Oriental-or-Decorative-Rug.jpg"/></p>
<p>Also, you need to consider the theme of each of your rooms so as to ensure that you do not get a rug that may be hard to wash yet you could have gone for a better and manageable rug. Below are some of the major ways to decorate your interior with the antique rugs.</p>
<p><b>Use of majestic modern rug types.</b></p>
<p>Examples of these carpets are Turkish or the Persian rugs, they have a rich and abundant form that cannot be found on any other interior design. These types of rugs do not disrupt the harmony of your interior. The antique Persian carpet is a perfect setting of art work. By <a href="http://lasharrugs.com/services/rug-cleaning/">keeping your rugs clean</a> and in good condition, the Persian rug enriches the old with the new thus making the whole interior appearance stunning.</p>
<p><b>Orient express.</b></p>
<p>These Indian rugs are slightly inferior to the Persian rugs. They are mostly used in spaces that are oriental inspired. With these types of rugs, you will find that there are lots of native accents and also ornaments that are mainly used for decorations. These rugs are ideal for spaces that need to be kept plain and neutral. The warmth and the good atmosphere of the oriental room would surprise you. In this situation, the presence of the Indian rugs brings about the <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/the-right-decor-can-make-you-more-productive-study-says-242808">right decor</a> and atmosphere to the room.</p>
<p><b>France is elegance.</b></p>
<p>These are the European rugs. French Abussonhas a capability of to fill the opulent space with glamor and beauty. This is the same case with the Spanish carpet. There are not many things that could be compared to a crystal chandelier or a great-quality painting. For such an interior, you need a rug that is unique to fit in the utterly chic and the pile of the utmost quality. You should not be afraid to combine rugs. It is good to keep on trying and get the right outlook of the room.</p>Creating Community Of Bloggers - A New Grouptag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-26:988554:BlogPost:17840392017-09-26T02:54:28.000ZShantellhttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/Shantell

<p>Well, I did it I started a new group here on mom bloggers! I am really excited about this group. I would like to see this group filled with active members learning and working together. <a href="http://www.mombloggersclub.com/group/just-the-basics-education-for-newbie-entrepreneurs" target="_blank">Join Today</a></p>
<p>One thing I am beginning to learn it is only as a community can we (as bloggers) make progress. As we share each others post, comment, and share we help the community move forward.</p>
<p>My hope is that through this community we will get to know each other as well as to learn and share valuable strategies to make our blogs better. Consider this thought,</p>
<blockquote><p>"Every successful individual knows that his or her achievement depends on a community of persons working together." -Paul Ryan</p>
</blockquote>
<p>How does this apply to us here? It is by us not only posting our links, but it is also about visiting and commenting on each other's blogs. It is about forming relationships. What this looks like is making a commitment to reading, commenting and sharing. Consider what would happen if everyone, read, comments on and shared a blog post. I challenge you to join the community!</p>
<p>I hope to see you there!</p>

<p>Making the decision to blog is a huge decision. There are many factors to consider, the time commitment, the technical challenges and finding your voice. However, the greatest challenge by far is stepping beyond yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone. </p>

<p>Making the decision to blog is a huge decision. There are many factors to consider, the time commitment, the technical challenges and finding your voice. However, the greatest challenge by far is stepping beyond yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone. </p>
<p>In a video, I created for my website I focused on this idea. I shared 3 tips to stepping out of your comfort zone. (I also created an informative PDF). What I wanted to emphasize is that the change you seek, the impact you make may not come until you make those bold steps outside of your comfort zone.<a href="http://education101.info/2017/09/21/3-tips-step-comfort-zone/" target="_blank">CHECK IT OUT HERE</a></p>
<p> If you think about it everything that you now do was once outside of your comfort zone. It wasn't until you tried (and repeated) that new thing that it became normal.</p>
<blockquote><p> "As you move outside of your comfort zone, what was once the unknown and frightening becomes your new normal.” -Robin S. Sharma</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, in essence, it is really about you overcoming your fears, learning a new task and repeating it enough until it isn’t new anymore.The challenge is more about that first step. That first step out of your comfort zone feels like more than you can bear. Personally, I have learned that until you decide in your mind, no action will take place.</p>
<p> For example, I have noticed for some, the fear of growing their blog may be about what others will say and how it will be received. I would suggest in this case you would first g=have to make up in your mind you are satisfied with your blog, then you can handle the criticism.</p>
<p>Of course, the greatest fear is that fear of failure. I have learned to just accept it as a possible outcome. However, I no longer focus on it as a major outcome. In fact, there are other options. You may do exceptionally well! You may find a new calling! You may become a leader in the industry.</p>
<p> The fact is until we really step beyond ourselves, it is impossible to really know all we are capable of.</p>

<p>On this last morning of my forty-fifth year, I found myself thinking of basic Human rights. Then as a mother, I was thinking how have I translated those same "ideas" of rights to my own child. Over the years we have had so many discussions on her <a href="https://www.livinginmommywood.com/search?q=rights" target="_blank">rights</a> as a Human being I can't begin to share.</p>

<p>On this last morning of my forty-fifth year, I found myself thinking of basic Human rights. Then as a mother, I was thinking how have I translated those same "ideas" of rights to my own child. Over the years we have had so many discussions on her <a target="_blank" href="https://www.livinginmommywood.com/search?q=rights">rights</a> as a Human being I can't begin to share.</p>
<p>From how her peers should treat her, to how her teachers and people in power should treat her the conversations never end. There is no age limit or right place or right time. To be treated with respect is <strong>not</strong> an option, it is a right everyone deserves even in times when we don't agree.</p>
<p>I'm an emotional person by nature, I can't even look at commercials geared at raising animal cruelty awareness without looking away. I don't like to see any form of abuse, don't try to show me videos of kids fighting after school I won't watch. Voyeurism of another's pain is not my idea of entertainment. No matter how it is packaged. So much suffering at every turn lately. Fires, Droughts, Hurricanes, Earthquakes does it not make you stop and think about your life and your choices?</p>
<p>I woke up to a post on the latest rant from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-apos-t-stop-220301044.html">Mr. Trump</a>. Fire any player who doesn't respect our country, we pay them <strong>A LOT</strong> of money. So basically if you get paid for something you lose any <strong>right</strong> you have to <strong>freedom of expression</strong>. This being, for example, the huge organization which is the NFL. This controversy touches many levels but when money is involved nothing else seems to matter so as a parent, where should you stand?</p>
<p>If we <strong>first</strong> understand that our Constitution was written when people of Color and women's rights didn't matter anything after that should be easy. If we <strong>accept</strong> that at the time this was thought out no one was considering a person of Color as an <strong>equal</strong>, we could then find in some way the possibility to respect and understand why the stance on taking a knee is really not a sign of Disrespect to our Country. Hello, when it was written it wasn't even all of our Country. Some people were left out.</p>
<p>It's a beautiful sentiment indeed: </p>
<p class="text-align-center">"<strong>I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."</strong></p>
<p>I love the <strong>idea</strong> of those words but it is not a reality and has not been a reality for certain groups of people for a very long time. To expect or even demand someone's moral compass be disregarded because of money or the discomfort of others is wrong. You can't teach your child to have a sense of value to understand right from wrong and then say "oh but if you join this group or if you have this job, or if you make this money, what you believe is no longer relevant."</p>
<p>Long before Colin Kaepernick took his stance I had a tiny six-year-old who questioned why she had to stand and place a hand over her heart. I had a ten-year-old who's teacher sent me a note about her not paying attention during the Pledge of Allegiance in class. My response was "as long as she is not physically hurting anyone, please don't reach out to me on this matter again."</p>
<p>That was my thought then, it is my thought now. Here's my perspective, I am not disrespecting those in my family or friends or neighbors who chose to serve this country. They served to protect <strong>my right</strong> and <strong>my daughter's right</strong> to speak freely. So speaking freely on observations, clear and proven facts and visible proof of acts practicing inequality fall under that protection. Just because you now don't like how I present that right doesn't negate its value.</p>
<p>I found this <a target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/09/24/colin-kaepernick-vs-tim-tebow-a-tale-of-two-christianities-on-its-knees/?utm_term=.c5981c5978b1">article</a> that questions what is so different between Kaepernick and Tim Tebow that I found interesting. Both have a strong sense of faith and value both take a knee. So many people have such a strong opinion on this matter but I think no one has taken the time to dissect where it stems from. Plain and simple it stems from society wanting a man to uphold a practice that was not and is still really not <strong>inclusive</strong> of himself or his culture.</p>
<p>The pain of watching people who look just like you be beaten, jailed and even killed doesn't go away when you cash a paycheck or enter a certain building. The sadness of witnessing injustice on a continues level doesn't disappear when you put on a uniform. The person looking back at you in that mirror remains the same. The value of a Human being should never change.</p>
<p>My daughter doesn't stop being Dominican and a young woman of Color with curly hair just because she walks into <strong>ANY</strong> establishment. My years of teaching her to value herself and her rights don't stop if and when she goes to work for any major organization if she so chooses. Her right to express her views on injustice don't stop at <strong>any</strong> door. </p>
<p>Standing up for what we believe in and doing so in ways that bring about conversations should be encouraged not discouraged. Our children should never have to feel like they must give up something in themselves in order to be accepted and not shack things up. Those little boys and little girls out there who enjoy Football should not have to choose to now not like someone because they disagree with one of their parent's beliefs. </p>
<p>Being a <strong>great</strong> parent requires us to raise our children to be conscious of their fellow man. It demands that we provide our children with all the tools needed to go out in society and add to a positive evaluation. We diminish those chances when we teach one thing and practice another all for the sake of money. </p>
<p>It's time to take a stand on truth. To listen to both sides of an argument without looking for a win. We win when we agree to respect and listen not always to change but perhaps to understand. Colin Kaepernick is an opportunity to understand that change is needed. It's an opportunity to talk with our children about freedom of expression and the consequences you can face when others oppose your views.</p>
<p>Share your thoughts, what do you think? Is this a CONVERSATION you feel is needed in order to teach our children that in a healthy society we need to learn how to respect different views and invite healthy conversation?</p>
<p>Always stress-free xo, </p>

The procedure helps in removing the extra skin that sags on the neck region and it can contribute to how your body looks. The neck lift offers the patient a youthful and thinner appearance.

<p><span>Believe it or not, your kids crave exercise. Even the most sluggish couch potatoes will enjoy getting a workout in if you only find something they are interested in. Even if your kids resist all your pleas for them to get up and move around, you can always find some tricks to get your children exercising before they even realize it. You can prevent your child from becoming another obesity statistic when you follow these five tricks I have found to get my kids moving around.</span><br/><br/><strong>1. Make Video Games Your Ally</strong><br/><br/><span>Video games have long been a prime suspect when people point to culprits for the </span><a href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-prevention-source/obesity-trends/global-obesity-trends-in-children/">childhood obesity crisis</a><span> that is devastating kids in the US today. However, I have found video games to be one of the most powerful tools to get my kids to exercise. The kids love to play games like Dance Dance Revolution and The Biggest Loser that are a ton of fun and give them a great workout to boot.</span><br/><br/><strong>2. Give Them Active Chores</strong><br/><br/><span>If you want your kids to grow up well-adjusted with a sense of responsibility, you need to give them weekly chores. As long as they are going to be grousing about their chores anyway, you might as well give your kids as many active chores as you can. Things like pulling weeds, vacuuming and mowing give my children a great workout while they learn a sense of duty. Make sure you mix the chores up so the kids don’t get burnt out on an excessively tough chore like weeding.</span><br/><br/><strong>3. Family Time Should Be Active Time</strong><br/><br/><span>Scheduling a weekly activity together is a great method of family bonding. Family outings are best when they are as active as possible. The kids love going <a href="https://allstarbowlingandentertainment.com/birthday-party-place/" target="_blank">bowling or playing laser tag</a> and playing soccer during family time. Your kids are sure to agree on some form of physical activity that they will enjoy doing together. One of the best things you can do with kids is going to a trampoline park</span><span>. You will be blown away by how much fun your family will have bouncing around a trampoline park until you drop.</span><br/><br/><strong>4. Have a Step Competition</strong><br/><br/><span>If your kids are competitive with each other, one of the best things you can do is to start a step competition. Buy some pedometers</span><span> and reward a prize each week to the child who achieves the most steps. You may need to implement a handicap if your kids are far apart in age or athletic ability. Make the prize cash or simply the power to choose the next family activity. You will be amazed at how much more walking your kids do when they know that a prize and bragging rights are on the line in your family’s step competition. If you are going to be part of the step competition, you might want to think about wearing yoga shorts more often to stay comfortable when you are moving around.</span><br/><br/><strong>5. Get a Dog</strong><br/><br/><span>If you are one of those dads who constantly puts your kids off when they ask if they can have a puppy, you should just go ahead and give in. Kids definitely get a ton of exercise if you get a dog. Dogs need to be walked every day. Active dogs need to be walked several times a day. Getting a dog is a good way to make your kids happy, ensure they get plenty of exercise and teach them responsibility all at the same time.</span><br/><br/><span>My kids used to be regular lumps on our family sofa, but I have steadily watched their inactivity decline since I started concentrating on finding ways to ensure they are get plenty of exercise. There is no reason to let your kid become the latest victim of the childhood obesity crisis. You don’t even have to stress about pleading with them to be active. When you use these five sneaky methods to get your children moving, you will watch them get in wonderful shape. Once they get a taste for the fit life, your kids will want to search out ways on their own to stay active.</span></p>Clean eating tips for first-time motherstag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-25:988554:BlogPost:17838792017-09-25T13:28:15.000ZJackie J.

<p>As a <a href="http://adrielbooker.com/pregnancy-birth-first-time-mom/">first-time mother</a>, there are many responsibilities on your shoulders, and it is difficult to handle them all at once. Out of the many responsibilities, clean eating is one of the requirements that will be necessary because your child is dependent on you and if you do not feel good about eating well, it will have a direct impact on your child. So, here are some clean eating tips that should be on your mind as the first-time mother.</p>
<h3><b>1. Keep yourself hydrated</b></h3>
<p>Water is the most important thing, and you should make it a point to keep yourself hydrated at all times. It is important for us to know that we all can consume enough water during the day and make sure that we do not feel the pressure of being dehydrated. At the same time, it also helps in keeping us away from various diseases.</p>
<h3><b>2. Opting for power breakfast</b></h3>
<p>Skipping breakfast is not good for mothers, and first-time mothers often feel the pressure of carrying out other tasks that are considered to be more important as compared to breakfast. Skipping breakfast is terrible, and we hope you do not make this mistake. In fact, you should consider having meals at regular intervals to be sure that you keep yourself full and healthy at all times.</p>
<h3><b>3. Resist junk food</b></h3>
<p>It is not easy to stay away from junk food if you have been in the habit of having it at all times. However, it is for the child's health, and so it is important for you to keep yourself away from junk food. Resisting junk food will be a difficult task, but we hope you’ll overcome the challenge and make the most of the opportunities that are available for you. Remember that has racing junk food is not as easy as finding <a href="http://edenphysio.co.nz/">Auckland Physiotherapy Centre</a> but you need to stay focused and strong to keep yourself away from it.</p>
<h3><b>4. Veggies in your meal</b></h3>
<p>Even if you love nonveg food, it is advisable to keep yourself away from it until the time your baby isn't big enough to have their food all by themselves. If that is not possible for you, make sure that you’re selecting meals combined with veggies. In this case, you should have an ideal mix of vegetables that deliver nutrients, fiber and antioxidants. There are many guides available for us, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to select one that is perfect for you and can keep you and your taste buds happy.</p>The social network you create for yourselftag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-25:988554:BlogPost:17840272017-09-25T10:49:57.000ZLauren Markmanhttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/LaurenMarkman

<p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">On the car ride home, I asked him what some of the other children's names were. I am not surprised when he mentions that he forgot to ask (this is a common issue). But in the next sentence he referred to the fun he and his "friends" were having.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">It is interesting to me that he thinks of those children as friends, even though he doesn't know their names. (And, in fairness to my son, none of them asked his name either.)</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I'm fascinated by the way my son interacts with other children - immediately regarding new people as friends and joining into their games. Or, when he mentions someone as being his "best friend" at school, but the names tend to rotate out faster than I can keep track of. I'm glad when he talks about all this: Navigating relationships outside of the family is important to his overall growth.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">So, I'll keep watching, especially since I've learned that the real fascinating discoveries about friendship will come in high school: Our popularity in high school tends to lay <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/12/health/high-school-friends-health-study/index.html" rel="nofollow">the foundation for how we view friendships for the rest of our lives</a>. It should be shocking to no one to learn that close relationships formed in high school tend to lead to the greatest amount of happiness later on in life. But what may be surprising is what happens to the popular crowd: They tend to be the ones experiencing the highest degree of social anxiety later on in life. Popular, it turns out, is a hard quality to keep up with.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I'm not sure where my son will land on the social scale - the kids in his elementary school all get along well now, but I know that it is not going to be that way forever. For my part, I can continue to ask him questions about what makes a good friend and see what he values as he gets older.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Do you think your child is popular? <a href="https://ididntlisten.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-social-network-you-create-for.html" target="_blank">Tell me in the comments</a>.</span></p>Home Remedies for Psoriasistag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-24:988554:BlogPost:17837992017-09-24T11:00:00.000ZJessicahttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/Jessica271
<p>Hi there, Mom Bloggers. Today I am going to talk about natural and herbal remedies that may help with your psoriasis. The main problem with psoriasis is that not all treatments works for everyone.</p>

<p>Hi there, Mom Bloggers. Today I am going to talk about natural and herbal remedies that may help with your psoriasis. The main problem with psoriasis is that not all treatments works for everyone.</p>
<p><a href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/hYjDyzyOHrFO817Pz1R4HW41eYxLWV4z-Jq5ty7Qd68AbI*kobO9H4*Im3WLbSus2jau4nXJ5r8Nk0p-IbT*gKYGaFa4p6qX/Depositphotos_60541551_m2015.jpg" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/hYjDyzyOHrFO817Pz1R4HW41eYxLWV4z-Jq5ty7Qd68AbI*kobO9H4*Im3WLbSus2jau4nXJ5r8Nk0p-IbT*gKYGaFa4p6qX/Depositphotos_60541551_m2015.jpg?width=750" class="align-full" width="750"/></a></p>
<p>If you’d rather avoid the hassle of prescription drugs or weekly visits to the doctor, then the use of home remedies will prove to be very beneficial for you. You could also combine the use of home remedies with <a href="https://www.drugs.com/condition/psoriasis.html" target="_blank">medical treatment</a> for even better results. Whichever the reason, here are a few things you can do from home to relieve your symptoms:<br/> <br/> <strong>Milk thistle</strong> is a herb that will keep the blood clean and protect the liver, which makes it an effective psoriasis remedy. The recommended dosage is 300 milligrams of milk thistle three times per day for approximately three months.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Aloe Vera</strong> is a safe and natural psoriasis remedy. Patients participating in a trial experienced a huge reduction in lesions after four weeks of treatment. A cream containing 0.5% aloe vera extract was used in the trial, and was applied to the affected areas three times per day. Herbalists recommend keeping the skin saturated in the cream as much as possible until the psoriasis is healed.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Cayenne pepper</strong> is an effective natural psoriasis remedy as it contains a substance (capsaicin) which relieves pain and itching associated with this skin condition. It can be found in capsules or in creams.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Petroleum jelly</strong> is one of the cheap and effective ways to control the build-up of skin that occurs due to psoriasis, as it keeps skin well moisturized. Simply apply a small amount to the affected areas each day, especially after a bath or shower.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Baking soda</strong> helps treat the itchiness associated with psoriasis. Simply dissolve 1/3 cup of baking soda into 1 gallon of water, and the soak a washcloth into this mixture. Wring out the cloth and then apply it directly to the affected skin. Repeat this several times.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Apple Cider vinegar</strong> is known for treating inflammation. Add a cupful to your bathwater or apply it directly on the affected areas with a cotton ball. Fingernails and toenails affected by psoriasis can be soaked in a solution of apple cider vinegar and water for a few minutes daily.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Cocoa butter</strong> helps suppress excessive T-cell activity in the immune system, which could help treat conditions associated with overactive immune systems, such as psoriasis and other skin conditions.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Oatmeal</strong> is known for softening and soothing the skin. It works best when mixed with warm bathwater, soak for 10-15 minutes and pat yourself dry or slough off the scales softly. These warm baths can also be mixed with Dead Sea salts or Epsom salts, which help in removing scales.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Coconut oil</strong> <a href="https://www.beatpsoriasis.org/coconut-oil-psoriasis/" target="_blank">has been found</a> to be an excellent natural treatment for relieving psoriasis. You can either take 2 tablespoons of coconut oil each day by adding it to your coffee or tea, or you can apply it topically onto the affected area 3 times per day.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Oregano oil</strong> possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties, which may be helpful with some infections associated with psoriasis. Oregano oil can be purchased at most health food stores.<br/>
<br/>
Evening <strong>Primrose oil</strong> capsules as a dietary supplement may also help with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis treatment. It has been shown to significantly improve the dryness and the flakiness of the skin. Though it may take months to see results, consistency is important and patience is a virtue.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Tea Tree oil</strong> is especially <a href="https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/314496.php" target="_blank">helpful for scalp psoriasis</a> due to its antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Rub essential tea tree oil into your scalp and cover with a shower cap over night for best results. You can usually find this in lotions and shampoos but they usually don’t contain enough to treat psoriasis properly, so try to use the essential oil.<br/>
<br/>
As you can see, there are many inexpensive and effective treatments that can be done from home, either alone or in combination with medical treatment.</p>Breastfeeding & Mental Healthtag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-23:988554:BlogPost:17837912017-09-23T22:35:15.000ZDave Adamshttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/DaveAdams

<p>Between my wife and I we have two things that we are really passionate about. For very personal reasons those two things are mental health awareness and breastfeeding. We have supported each other through difficult times in these areas and there are lots of overlapping themes in the care for the two.</p>
<p>From experience I can say that the main thing that mental health illnesses and breastfeeding have in common are the need for support. Strong unconditional support.</p>
<h5>Breastfeeding Support</h5>
<p><img class="alignleft wp-image-664 size-medium" src="http://businesswellbeing.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/horsey-cartoon_breastfeeding-300x224.jpg" alt="Mental Health Breastfeeding Support" width="300" height="224"/></p>
<p>The breastfeeding support for my wife started the moment that she decided she wanted to breastfeed our first child. As soon as she knew that this was the route she wanted to take it was important for me to support her 100%.</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote><p>The decision to breastfeed is such an emotive, emotional and ultimately empowering one for any woman to make. It's about nature, nurture and care.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>With this is mind it was never a question of practicalities. It was about support, encouragement and perseverance.</p>
<p>Once our son was born my wife took on the scary, painful and often soul destroying responsibility of breastfeeding. The first weeks were particularly bad, not helped by an undiagnosed tongue tie which made feeding impossible. There were times when I'm sure my wife felt like giving up, although she never gave that impression. She was strong, perseverant and brave.</p>
<p>All she needed from me was support. She needed me to tell her what a great job she was doing, how the pain would go away and how the distress would all be worth it. She needed lots of hugs and comforting words. I would cook meals and do housework, things that it was impossible for her to do. It's really not much to ask for but unfortunately not all new mothers have this support.</p>
<h5>Mental Health Support</h5>
<p><img class="alignright wp-image-665 size-medium" src="http://businesswellbeing.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Im-Not-Okay-300x169.jpg" alt="Breastfeeding Support Mental Health Support" width="300" height="169"/></p>
<p>The support that my wife provides to me with my mental health issues, albeit over a much longer period, has many similarities to the support described above.</p>
<p>In my times of need my wife provides me with love, care and support. She reassures me and tells me that everything will be ok. When I'm feeling low there really isn't much else that can be done for me. That, I'm sure can be frustrating for the people that want to help me. I wish I could tell them what to do to make me feel better but that advice just doesn't exist.</p>
<blockquote><p>Just knowing that people understand me, support me and believe in me is enough.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The feelings and emotions experienced during breastfeeding and when suffering from mental health illnesses are very similar. As too are the characteristics of the support needed to help people cope.</p>

<p>Back problems are often caused by seats that do not meet the requirements of the modern Office. Most of us are accustomed to bending and we do not know when to begin improving the way we sit. We sit on seats that are not designed to meet the modern requirements of our physique. </p>
<p>As far as the size of the office surface is concerned, it is determined by the space available and the type of work for which it is intended. However, it is important that the floor height does not exceed 0.75 million meters, since the average height of the man, is 1.70 meters. </p>
<p>The seat despite the long history of 2050 - 1600 BC,has so far been poorly designed and this is duethe anthropometric and anatomical features of the person using it.</p>
<p>An <a href="http://oneleg.dk/shop/"><b>skjorte til mænd</b></a> in orded to be successful must fit on Anatomical Dimensions of the human being who uses it in order to offes comfort, ease of operation, efficiency and safety. In other words, the seat is like a "shoe". The same</p>
<p>number does not fit all "legs".The seat intended for young people does not serve as comfortable for the elderly who need different specifications and constructions.</p>
<p>The very logical approach should therefore govern the choice of the seat type according to its age, intended use (work - study) and working hours - design, determining its construction.</p>
<p>A) <strong>Center of Gravity</strong></p>
<p>The center of body weight of a person sitting on a ground-parallel seat and back in a right angle to it is a vertical conceivable line that passes 2.5 cm in front of the center of the chest and meets the ground.</p>
<p>When the seat does not provide adequate stabilization, the person is instinctively attempting to stabilize his weight changing attitudes on the seat. This process causes the consumption of bodily energy and creates the impression of the unobstructed seat. The weight distribution of the human body on a seat is 75% of the weight on the seat, 8% on the back and 17% on the floor.</p>
<p>B) <strong>The Seat Height</strong></p>
<p>One of the basic requirements in the design of an ergonomisk siddemøbel is the height of the seat from the floor. Particular importance should be given to the pressure that the foam (polyurethane foam) receives from the body weight and how much the original seat height is reduced.</p>
<p>When the ergonomisk siddemøbel surface is high enough for the man, the muscular surfaces under his thighs are pressed against the seat by their weight, thus limiting the circulation of blood to those points. Equally bad is the seat height does not allow comfortable and complete contact of the feet on the floor so the body's stability decreases. Also, when the seat is low enough, the legs are forced to extend far in front of the seat, thereby shifting the center of gravity and forcing the body trunk to close forward and away from the back support surface. The height adjustment range for a seat is between 37.5 and 52.5 cm for adults, with an average height of 43 cm, serving the largest proportion of adults.</p>
<p>When the seat height is up to 38 cm, it serves a relatively large number of adults, except that large people will need space for their extended legs and cause a problem getting them up.</p>
<p>C) <strong>Seat Depth</strong></p>
<p>A basic prerequisite for the design of an ergonomisk siddemøbel is its depth, and the distance from the front of the seat to the back surface.</p>
<p>When the seat depth is large enough, the front of the seat presses the legs just behind the knees, thus limiting the blood circulation to and from the ends of the legs. People who, due to their work, are forced to sit many hours a day are so dangerous to cause "Thrombophlebitis".</p>
<p>The man who uses a deep-seated seat and tries to move his body further out to avoid this pressure, thereby increasing the distance of his body from the backrest, thus causing back and lumbar pain country "back pain".</p>
<p>On the contrary, when the seat has a small depth, it restricts the total support of the thigh muscular surfaces on the seat causing the body to feel tilted forward.</p>
<p>D) <strong>The seat angle (Seat Angle)</strong></p>
<p>The slopes of an ergonomisk siddemøbel are always measured in relation to the vertical axis of the back to the floor with a slope of forward and backwards recall.</p>
<p>E) <strong>Seat Padding Materials (Seat Padding)</strong></p>
<p>Foam materials aim at smoothly distributing body weight over the seat surface. The notion that the deeper and softer ergonomisk siddemøbel is, the more comfortable it is, it is not right. The soft-filled deep seat causes the sciatic bone to sink deep into it, resulting in the entire body weight burden being transferred to the surrounding muscles and causing local pains. These with regard to the seat of the seat.</p>
<p>F) <strong>Back - rest</strong></p>
<p>The design of the back should necessarily support the lumbar region and, depending on its height, also support the chest and touch the spine with the corresponding curvature.</p>
<p>1. Lumbar Support</p>
<p>The back of the seat does not support the lumbar region properly</p>
<p>and the spine can cause severe pains.</p>
<p>2. Thoracic Support</p>
<p>The minimum backrest height for lumbar support</p>
<p>and chest area is 50 - 55 cm.</p>
<p>3. Sacrum Support</p>
<p>The seat of the seat must have the corresponding curvatures and</p>
<p>the formed foam materials follow its periphery</p>
<p>basin in a way to ensure comfort and avoid pressure</p>
<p>in the area of the coccyx.</p>
<p>H) <strong>Bracket Arm Supports</strong></p>
<p>Supporting the seat armrest relieves the muscles from the weight of the shoulders and the hands themselves. The height of the arms should be at least at the same height or higher than the desk or counter so as not to rub the forearm at the niche of the desk or work surface. For this purpose, we recommend that the arms are height-adjustable to accommodate the height of the desk or work surface and the length of the forearm, thus reducing the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome and hand tendonitis, often seen in computer users and those doing sedentary jobs such as silversmiths, radio technicians, dental technicians, or other activities.</p>
<p>I) <strong>Footrest</strong></p>
<p>An essential complement to a good ergonomisk siddemøbel is the Footrest and even reclining because:</p>
<p>Helps blood circulation of the lower limbs.</p>
<p>It relieves the muscular system from long hours of inertia and</p>
<p>Offers a balanced distribution of body weight</p>Home Maintenance Tasks You Should do this Falltag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-22:988554:BlogPost:17836762017-09-22T11:27:36.000ZEmma Miahhttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/EmmaMiah

<p>Summer is the season not far away from now and all of us in need to get ready for the action. Remodeling your house for the summer season is always a challenging task. People want a breath full and <a href="http://freshome.com/2008/10/12/five-steps-to-making-your-home-more-beautiful/" target="_blank">beautiful home</a> in hot weather. In this mean, they often try several things. But never forget that anything without planning can result in massive disaster.</p>
<p>When it comes to seasonal change, you have to plan the things with more significance. Most of the people often skip a lot of stuff while remodeling their home. So, here in this article, I am going to discuss that the home maintenance tasks you should do this summer.</p>
<p><strong>Clean your air conditioning system</strong></p>
<p>You can employ the professionals or do it without anyone else's help. Change or wash the channels, which ought to be done month to month. Clean the curls and remove the condenser outside, if necessary. Trim away any bushes from the unit, and ensure its depleted line isn't stopped up. While you're grinding away, change your heater channel, so it's prepared for fall.</p>
<p><strong>Clean the rooftop</strong></p>
<p>The vast majority are in an ideal situation procuring an expert for this errand, yet it's vital. Those terrible dark streaks on black-top shingles are doing significantly more damage than necessarily looking ugly. The stains are brought about by green growth that feast upon the limestone filler in shingles, so those dark stains are eating your rooftop. The green growth spread rapidly before the wind blows them to nearby rooftops.</p>
<p><strong>Clean the Wooden Deck</strong></p>
<p>Saving your deck from the components is not an undertaking you ought to ignore. Open air wood floors get pounded by the elements, incorporating snow and rain in the winter and cruel daylight in the late spring. These temperature cycles and ingestion cause the wood to destroy snappier than if you consistently seal them. This can prompt spoiling decks and a costly substitution.</p>
<p><strong>Include Some Basics</strong></p>
<p>You can lease a power washer for about $30 on the off chance that you need to do this without anyone else's help. The greatest advantage is expelling mold and staining. He exhorts alert before power washing decks because compel of the water may harm the wood filaments. You need to keep water out and cool air in. You may need to supplant caulking or climate fixing to achieve this. The Electrical Safety Foundation International notes that these errands enhance the proficiency of the machines, as well as make preparations for electrical dangers. A <a href="https://www.homesware.co.uk/4-5-tog-duvet/">4.5 tog king size duvet</a> will also be a best complement in this mean.</p>
<p><strong>Clean the Canal</strong></p>
<p>Ensure they don't have gaps and all the downspouts are as yet appended and removing water from the house. Drains are a standout amongst the most profitable and moderate strategies for mortgage holders to shield their homes from the components. By diverting water off the rooftop and guiding it to an area far from home, appropriately working drains help secure the home's shingles, wood under the overhang, siding, ground surface and finishing from an entire host of issues and costly repairs. Obstructed canals can likewise bring about mosquito pervasions, shape and build up from disintegrated leaves and different problems.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">A friend of mine was telling his parents that he and his wife were expecting a baby boy. And when my friend told his parents their first choice as a baby name, he said his father looked him straight in the eye and said "Nope. What's your second choice?"</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mZs8R1cHejg/U1RItMkg7_I/AAAAAAAAAVA/vI2i05CVa6gOWfmVd5mJK29xfpxA581VACPcBGAYYCw/s1600/baby.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mZs8R1cHejg/U1RItMkg7_I/AAAAAAAAAVA/vI2i05CVa6gOWfmVd5mJK29xfpxA581VACPcBGAYYCw/s400/baby.jpg" height="299" border="0" width="400"/></a></span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">My friend and his wife named their son by that name anyway, and everyone got over the incident, but this story has stuck with me.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">To my parents' credit, if any of them ever had a wayward thought about the name my husband and I chose for our son, they never vocalized it. I don't even recall them trying to provide suggestions for baby names. And for all of that, I am very grateful, as <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/a-fifth-of-grandparents-hate-their-grandchilds-name-study-finds-a3634186.html" rel="nofollow">some grandparents believe they should be consulted on their grandchild's name</a>.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I am not sure of the full context of those feelings - if they have to do with family traditions or something else - but I know that most parents struggle with finding the "right" name for their child. That is one of those first big decisions that remind you that you are making choices for someone else's life.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">So, it is probably for the best that the choice remains between the parents.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I do understand another portion of that study, though, that discusses how some grandparents have to get used to unusual baby names. I have often looked at the roster of my son's classroom and thought how nice it is to see so many creative names and then wonder if anyone names their children "Mary" and "Joseph" anymore. (Maybe they still do that in the Catholic schools like the one I attended; there were a lot of Marys and Joes in my class.)</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I have asked my son if he liked his name and he responded that he did. I then made the mistake of asking him what he would change his name to, if he could have the choice of any name in the world.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">He responded, "Kitten Man," and ran off.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">So, there you go.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Do you wish you had more or less input from relatives when deciding on your baby's name? <a href="https://ididntlisten.blogspot.com/2017/09/a-baby-by-any-other-name.html" target="_blank">Tell me the tale in the comments</a>.</span></p>Top Seven Cuddly Toys for Kids!tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-22:988554:BlogPost:17838532017-09-22T07:33:16.000ZJulia Gomeshttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/JuliaGomes

<p>Your baby’s first birthday party can be exciting and a little bit overwhelming in equal measure. What do you do for a baby’s first birthday anyhow? Where do you start? When it comes to a baby’s birthday party you want to find a way to make it engaging and memorable for both children and adults.</p>
<p>You may be tempted to do everything you can think of to impress your guests, but it’s important to give yourself a few guidelines to help the planning and decorating process go smoothly. A few party essentials include: choosing a theme, sending out invitations, choosing the right food, and getting the right “<a href="https://www.pinterest.com.mx/beatonphoto/one-year-old-cake-smash/?lp=true">smash cake</a>”.</p>
<p>Smash cakes are a first birthday party classic. Make sure to have <a href="https://funkygiraffebibs.co.uk/bibs.html#.WcEdzK2ZPdQ">plenty of baby bibs</a> and extra baby clothes at the ready – this might get a little messy! You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to see your little one eat their first cake. Although it’s a birthday cake, you have to keep in mind that it is for a one-year old and they can’t digest too much sugar. Consider making the smash cake from scratch. Sugarless, banana based, or whole wheat cakes are much healthier alternatives for the baby to dig into, face-first. A banana and applesauce cake may sound odd, but it’s actually a very simple and delicious recipe your baby is sure to love. More decadent recipes can be reserved for the older children and adults to enjoy.</p>
<p>Choosing a birthday theme can be a difficult decision. There’s so many to choose from and you want everything to be perfect because it’s the first birthday celebration of your child’s life. A few theme ideas that might go down a storm are: classic princess party, unicorns, pirates, safari, superheroes, Mickey and Minnie Mouse. You can even include the theme throughout the foods at the party. A variety of finger foods like: tea sandwiches, a fruit and vegetable tray, cut-out biscuits, and crisps are a great start that’s perfect for the adults and children alike.</p>
<p>No matter which theme you go for, make sure you include a matching invitation with an RSVP date. These can be ordered online or designed and printed out at your home. You want to keep count of how many to expect for planning purposes – bear in mind, however, that you don’t want to overwhelm your baby so try to leave the guest list to a minimum, if possible. For a first birthday, an intimate setting such as in your home may be the best way to go. Having a birthday party at home can mean a bigger clear up operation at the end of the day, but, crucially, you’ll have home advantage – less costly than hiring a place out, no need to shift a million and one extra things (bathroom odds and ends, plasters, cleaning equipment) to a different site, and you’ll know all the secret locations where you can go and hide if need be. Choose a time that gives your baby enough time for a nap so they’re happy and ready to party. A Saturday afternoon is usually a safe choice.</p>
<p>With all of these tips in mind, don’t forget to relax as much as possible and have fun during the party. Take loads of pictures and watch as your baby glows with excitement on their special day.</p>How We Found Out Gluten is the Deviltag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-21:988554:BlogPost:17837592017-09-21T17:52:02.000ZAlicia Caldwellhttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/AliciaCaldwell

<p><span>I was a skinny kid, who has since filled out – mostly in the rear (thank you Kim Kardashian for making that fashionable). Matt also is a skinny man, the skinniest, like has to force a pint of Ben and Jerry’s down his throat to gain weight. I’m a saint for listening to his weight-gain troubles. A saint. Because of our own body shapes, for years doctors told us Lexi was just small because we were small. It made sense.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Flash forward to moving back to RI and going to see a new pediatrician. From our first visit the new doc seemed overly concerned with Lexi’s weight. So much so that I actually complained to my mom that she was too focused on it and was going to damage my bright, confident, strong daughter’s self esteem. I’m always very careful not to complain about my body in front of her and stress the importance of being healthy, not skinny and not curvy, because health looks different on everyone (high-five for being PC). I didn’t want her </span><i>ever</i><span> to look at herself and see her body as anything but the perfect vessel to carry her on life’s adventures.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>But she was getting stomach aches (which she’s always had on and off) and would lay in her bed crying that she couldn’t go to school that day only to make a miraculous recovery two hours later; so I brought her into the doctor. The doc ordered some blood work and me, in my infinite role as Mother of the Year, thought “Good! A couple tubes of blood will cure her of her phantom stomach aches!” and we went over to the lab to have her blood drawn. Later that day her ped called us with the results, she had crazy high immunoglobulin levels in her </span><span>tTG-IgA (test that measures antibodies that respond gluten) blood work and was testing positive for celiac disease.</span></p>

<p>The plastic surgery tourism <a href="http://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1012&amp;context=tcj" target="_blank">is on the rise</a>. Many clinics offer full vacation packages that include all the joys of a tour with a “minor” addition of surgery. What the happy tourists often don’t realize is that plastic surgery is real surgery. It isn’t any different from a C-section, joint replacement or gall bladder removal. There are <a href="http://time.com/4402014/the-dangers-of-plastic-surgery-tourism/" target="_blank">many dangers</a> associated with plastic surgery even when it’s performed perfectly.</p>
<p>A respected surgeon from <a href="http://younewclinic.com/" target="_blank">Dubai Plastic Surgery Clinic YouNew</a> shares the dangers of the plastic surgery tourism that many people choose to overlook.</p>
<p>One of the most common problems with plastic surgery tourism is that people try to use the time for standard vacation-related activities, such as sun tanning, snorkeling, long sightseeing walks, and alcohol consumption. In order to properly recover after the plastic surgery, a patient should avoid all these activities. Straining the body after a surgery is a quick way to complications.</p>
<p>Deep venous thrombosis is something people don’t usually think about. Meanwhile, it’s one of the big dangers connected with flying and surgery. By combining the two together, a patient substantially increases the risk of the blood clots in veins, which in turn lead to very unfortunate consequences, including swelling, infection, and even death. Before taking a flight, a patient must wait at least 5 days after the surgery.</p>
<p>The absence of proper follow-up care when a patient takes advantage of the plastic surgery tourism can lead to untreated complications. The tourism packages usually offer several days of follow-up care or up until the point when a patient leaves the country. Upon returning home, a patient may need to find a local surgeon to do the follow-up.</p>
<p>Cheaper doesn’t mean better. Since the plastic surgery is not covered by insurance, many patients from the United States try to find a cheaper option abroad. In many countries, plastic surgery techniques are just as advanced as in the USA while the bill is much smaller. However, many fraudulent clinics take advantage of the plastic surgery tourists.</p>
<p>A doctor that doesn’t carry any responsibility for the patients once they leave the country, may have a different approach to doing the job. In the end, a patient may end up paying much more for treating the complications or even redoing the surgery than he or she would when doing the procedure in the USA.</p>
<p>The owner of plastic surgery blog <a href="http://cosmeticdocshop.com/" target="_blank">CosmeticDocShop</a> dr. Sanders talks about the responsible approach to foreign patients: “When a clinic accepts a patient from abroad, it assumes a certain responsibility. A respectable clinic will never allow the patient to have limited follow-up care. Combining a vacation with a plastic surgery sounds like a fantasy to any experienced plastic surgeon.”</p>
<p>When patients make a choice to go abroad for a plastic surgery, they don’t realize that the health care standards in another country may be completely different from what they are used to in the United States. The surgeons might not go through sufficient training while the facilities may not be well equipped.</p>
<p>The happy reviews about the abroad plastic surgery usually come from the lucky patients, who didn’t experience any complications. The dangers don’t come when all goes well, they appear when the unqualified surgeons with the lack of the right equipment have to deal with unexpected complications during a surgery. The complications don’t necessarily happen due to a surgeon’s mistake. They may occur due to certain individual patient’s traits.</p>
<p>Before signing up for a plastic surgery tourist package, each patient should think twice about the possibility of ending up in a serious health-related situation in a foreign country without any insurance.</p>Liposuction in Mommy Makeovertag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-09-20:988554:BlogPost:17835692017-09-20T15:56:08.000ZLinda Grieshttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/LindaGries

<p>My husband and I have a<del> long-standing argument</del>friendly debate about how to keep a car clean. As in, he thinks we can and I think it’s impossible. He believes we should empty out the car of all personal items each and every time we get home. Ha! Doesn’t he know that at any given moment, I could have an urgent need for baby wipes, sunscreen, or a granola bar? He even went so far as to implement a surgical booty system in his car, in an attempt to keep all the sand/dirt/mud from our shoes off the floors. That system lasted for 2.5 weeks before he had to concede that it was not only inconvenient, but also ridiculous.</p>
<p>I swear, between all the stuff I deliberately keep in the car and all the stuff the kids accidentally leave in there, we could survive a <a href="https://www.momcavetv.com/11-ways-motherhood-like-walking-dead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">zombie apocalypse</a> in our car for weeks!</p>

<p>Created by expectant parent Jessica Chiha, A B to Jay-Z brings a street-smart love of literacy to storytime. These intrepid parents-to-be wanted to create a book that combined their love of hip hop with their love of their child. And just like that, A B to Jay-Z was born.</p>
<p>What began as a KickStarter initiative soon took on a life of its own, with parents readily funding Chiha project. When the world-rounded Australian street artist Alex Lehours learned of the book-to-be, he was likewise inspired by the equally edgy and educational vision of the expectant parents. His fierce and fresh work adds an undeniable urbanity to the book, and helps to celebrate both the vibrant world of hip-hop, and street culture.</p>
<p>The enthusiasm of the authors and illustrators is shared by parents around the world, who have quickly snagged this inspired book for their present and future ballers. A B to Jay-Z proves that keeping it real means keeping education relevant to the readers - though you don’t have to be a hip hop enthusiast to appreciate this book. A B to Jay-Z is an education in and celebration of street and rap culture. Bringing urbanity into the homes of all, the life of any child can be enriched by the Chiha’s creation.</p>
<p>Featuring classic artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, and LL Cool J and newer voices, like J Cole and Kendrick Lamar, <a href="https://thelittlehomie.com/">A B to Jay-Z</a> is a great way to spend some sweet QT with your OGs.

<p>Our family took our first camping trip with our four boys this past August, we had a great time. I thought I would share some things I found helpful, my camping checklist and the two things I wish I would have taken. </p>
<p>Growing up we went camping often, and I have so many great memories of our camping adventures. I am not what you would call the outdoors type but camping and being outside in nature resonates with me. I love being away from the city, unplugged from e-mail and social media and just taking in the beauty of nature. I love the quiet nights listening to the sounds of the great outdoors. I love enjoying the day’s and evenings exploring, swimming, eating around the campfire with no ‘to do list’ and without the chores we have at home calling me. </p>
<div>My boy's ages 10, 8, 6 and 2 have camped in our backyard and have camped in grandma and grandpa's backyard but we had not taken them on a real camping experience. When we told our boys they wouldn’t have any electronics for three whole days they were not too excited about that. Especially we were in the middle of summer where they had probably had too much electronic time. I loved watching them on our trip recognize they didn’t even need their electronics, they were chasing lizards, spotting deer, swimming, skipping rocks, hiking, climbing trees, playing, making s’mores and just hanging out. Kids love being outdoors. Seeing how much my kids enjoyed camping it gives me the desire to nurture their love of the great outdoors. </div>
<div><span>My parents went with us and I am so glad they did, they were a great help with the boys and my mom came with a ton of snacks you know how grandmas are. Our suburban was packed to the brim; it was nice to have my dad’s truck to help with bikes. I enjoyed sitting around the campfire at night talking with my parents and it was nice playing Uno during the day and swimming in the lake.</span></div>
<div><span><span><span>One of my favorite memories of this trip is we were sitting around the campfire and one of my sons said: “Mom, I am going to tell my kids about my first camping trip and how much fun I had.” We lived in our swimsuits. That is the one thing I over packed was clothes, other than pajamas they changed into at night, the only other thing they wore was their swimming trunks.</span></span></span><p></p>
<p>Here are the things I found most helpful. We booked our campsite six months before we had planned to go which I am glad we did, many sites are booked well in advance, so definitely plan ahead. </p>
<div>I kept a running list on my phone of what I thought we would need to take. It was nice to have my list handy to keep adding whenever I thought of something else we should take.</div>
<div>I loved taking a three drawer storage container. I kept our paper plates, utensils, paper towels in one drawer, I had a drawer for ‘kitchen’ needs, for example, a lighter, sponge, small dish soap, dish towel, spatulas, foil, skewers for s’mores, things like that. The top drawer I kept miscellaneous items, like our first aid kit, flashlights, rope for a clothesline. It was nice to have those items in drawers and not thrown in a bag that I would have to dig through every time I needed an item.</div>
<div>I took a bag of things for the kids to do, bubbles, coloring books and crayons, card games, some board books for my toddler and a few toys for him to play with. <div>I am grateful I took a small first aid kit. We used a few Band-Aids and I am so glad I took tweezers we used them daily for removing splinters.</div>
<div>The two things I wish I would have taken was a large thin carpet or mat I could put near our picnic table/kitchen area, there was so much dirt there was dust everywhere. Having an inexpensive carpet or foam mat around would have helped. The second thing I wish I would have taken is some traps for yellow jackets. They were only a problem when we cooked and ate, we learned to eat quickly and put the food away. Depending on where you camp this might not be a problem, but maybe you would need fly traps. We took candles to help with mosquitoes and insect repellant which really does make a difference.</div>
<div>We planned our menu ahead of time and decided to keep it simple. We had bacon pre-cooked at home; we had diced potatoes pre-cooked so we just had to heat them up for breakfast. I cracked and whisked all our eggs and put them into empty water bottles, this makes them easy to travel with and ready to scramble in the morning. I pre-mixed pancake batter and put into empty water bottles as well. </div>
<div><b>For three days this was our menu:</b></div>
<div>Thursday night dinner: Chicken Patties, Hot Dogs, beans, and chips.</div>
<div>Friday morning: Breakfast burritos for the adults and pancakes for the kids.</div>
<div>Friday lunch: Deli Sandwiches, macaroni salad, hummus, and pretzels.</div>
<div>Friday dinner: Cheeseburgers, macaroni salad, and chips.</div>
<div>Saturday breakfast: Breakfast burritos and pancakes.</div>
<div>Saturday lunch: Deli Sandwiches, macaroni salad, hummus, and pretzels.</div>
<div>Saturday late afternoon we drove home and had dinner on the road.</div>
<div>Snacks we took: Popcorn, cookies, muffins, candy, s’more fixings, apples, and bananas.</div>
<div><b>This was my checklist of items to take:</b></div>
<div><b>Camping Gear:</b></div>
<div>Tent, tarp, sleeping bags, pillows, lanterns, flashlights, cooking stove, propane, air pump, and air mattress.</div>
<div><b> </b></div>
<div><b>Kitchen Needs:</b></div>
<div>2 Skillets, a pot, cutting board, knife, a sponge, dish towels, lighter fluid, charcoal, fire starter log, disposable tablecloths, foil, disposable aluminum containers, paper plates, plastic spoons, forks, non-stick cooking spray, spatulas, tongs, skewers, and trash bags.</div>
<div><b>Kid stuff:</b></div>
<div>Sand toys, football, glow sticks, bubbles, and swimming stuff (life jackets, floating rafts, sunscreen)</div>
<div><b>Misc. Items:</b></div>
<div>First Aid kit, tweezers, duct tape, blue tooth speaker, small dustpan and brush, rope, clothespins toilet paper, hand soap, insect repellent, quarters for the showers, and toiletries.</div>
<div><b>Food Items:</b></div>
<div>Salt and pepper, eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, salsa, cheese, tortillas, pancake batter, syrup, hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, ketchup, mustard, deli sandwich fixings, bread, lunch meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayo, mustard, macaroni salad, hummus, pretzels. Things to make S’mores graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate. Fruit (apples and bananas), muffins, cookies, popcorn, Pringles, chips, Red Vines, water bottles, soda, Caprisuns and Sunny D Bottles.</div>
<div>If you have not taken your family camping I hope you will plan a trip soon. Camping is a great way to have quality time together. I think everyone should at least camp once, I think you’ll find though once you have camped you’ll want to camp again. It is good for the soul; I cannot put it into words. </div>
<div>There are many different ways to camp from very rustic with no campground showers, there are campgrounds that have showers, bathrooms, some even have swimming pools, and then there is “glamping”. Find a camping method that will work for you and try it, give that experience to your kids.</div>
<div>I hope you find this post helpful in planning your next camping trip, I hope you can use my camping list in preparing and packing for your next trip.</div>

<p><span class="font-size-3">Only 18 months ago, it was just us two eagerly, and nervously, awaiting our first bundle of joy. Fast forward to today, and here I am writing about how to vacation with two babies under two. Far from having it all under control (I mean, do we ever really have it all under control?), I did it. We survived traveling abroad with a 17-month-old and a 6-week-old (I know. We're ballsy and I love it!) and made it our best family vacation to date. Since motherhood is a lot about trial and error, below are some tips based on what I did and one on what I didn't do but should have.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>TIP #1 : OVER PACK!!</strong></p>
<p>Remember the good old days when packing for just one baby felt like a lot? Now just for fun let's add another one to the bunch and you'll quickly see how traveling overseas with two babies will have you feeling like a fugitive packing everything you own to never come back. Not only do you need to pack everything times two but you also need to find a way to magically fit it all into the ridiculous limit most airlines have on suitcases.</p>
<p><span>Think of possible scenario's at your destination and try to be ready. From medicine in case they get sick (which hopefully they don't) to nursing pads and a manual pump if you're breastfeeding to nasal aspirator and nail clipper to keep them nicely groomed.</span></p>
<p><strong>TIP #2 : FLY LATE</strong></p>
<p>The plane ride is usually the most dreaded for parents and trust me, I know why! Our toddler is beyond active so keeping him strapped down at 7 am for over 4 hours was no easy task. Taking breaks to the bathroom, just to let him move around, he would run down the aisle while stopping every few seats to say Hi to the rest of the passengers. Coming back home was such a different story. We booked to depart at 2 am which meant they both slept the whole plane ride home.</p>
<p>So yeah, try to book late night flights in the hopes your little one is still in sleep mode when you board that plane.</p>
<p><strong>TIP #3 : DOUBLE STROLLER</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/a*skwvYWsQNyXoa0qIx9jIh9*IhWJvYMsUdvmqdtWwmT2GQbEJIQfvIEcKYxvlNrPeQV6t4XL9K5kZytayMdmepiMqI1fFs4/IMG_5351.JPG?width=250" width="250" class="align-left"/></p>
<p>Don't make the same mistake we made. Our 17-month-old is very independent so when it came to a double stroller we decided to skip it. Big No-No being that we spent the first week at a resort which meant we were basically outdoors from 8am to 11pm. No matter how active your toddler is he will need a comfy place to crash or he will find a way to crash your plans.</p>
<p>Our Lillebaby carrier saved us on the nights Achilles was all partied out and ready for some ZZZ's. But if you you want to be completely "free'' once they fall asleep or you just need a break from all the running around after your little party animal, double strolling is the way to go.</p>

</div>
<div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1505245224785_139475"><div class="sqs-block-content"><p>...Sometimes. We quickly noticed that once Achilles and the other toddlers tired themselves out in the pool they would relax with the swaying of the water and fall asleep in their floaties. Once he was deep asleep, we would lay him on a lounge chair where he would nap for another 2 hours. Bliss. He would recharge his batteries and we would get much needed grown up time (a cocktail or two at the swim up bar).</p>
<p><strong>TIP #5 : ROCK-A-BYE BABY</strong></p>
<p>Babies and Toddlers need to feel safe and at home even when away from home. So pull out their swaddler and favorite blanket or plush toy and stick to their bedtime routine as much as you can. You're on vacation so of course every night is different but helping them feel comfy and safe is key for a good night for everybody.</p>
<p>If you're going to be staying at a resort (or hotel) make sure to specify you will have two babies with you so that you're room is already set up with two play pens on your arrival.</p>
<p><strong>TIP #6 : FAMILY TIME</strong></p>
<p> Being that it was an extended family trip, we had more hands to help which meant we got some time on our own and my parents and the rest of the family got to enjoy the cuties on their own too.</p>
<p>If you know me though, you know I have always been a sucker for quality family time so enjoying my loved ones was my #1 priority. Of course the much needed relaxation is nice and more than necessary when raising two little ones but those everlasting bonding moments with your loved ones will live with you forever.</p>
<p><strong>TIP #7 : BE ADVENTUROUS... AND LET THEM BE WILD</strong></p>
<p>Do something you've never done. See something you've never seen. Push your limits and try new things and motivate your toddler to do the same. Let him get dirty. Let him enjoy the view. Let him enjoy his vacation as much as you.</p>
<p><strong>TIP #8 : ENJOY EVERY SECOND</strong></p>
<p>Don't let the things you can't do steal the joy of all the new experiences now that you're a family of four. You're in paradise with your little gang, enjoy it. Take lots of pictures, laugh as much as you can, be in the moment and be grateful.</p>
<p>And there you go. Those are my 8 tips to help make your family vacation one to remember, in the best of ways. If you have any tips of your own, don't be greedy, please comment below!<a href="https://www.anajacqueline.com/blog//two-under-two-vacation-tips" target="_blank"><br/></a></p>

<p>For the most part, single moms are well-equipped to handle most situations. Whether it is the fruitless search for a lost toy or putting the fear of God in your young ones whenever they threaten to go astray, mothers pride themselves in being able to handle whatever curve balls that are thrown at them on a daily basis. However, not being able to protect your family in case of a threatening situation is something that can get you a bit anxious. Albeit, you know that you can dial 911 in case of a situation, wouldn’t it be more ideal if we knew how to handle the circumstance as it happened? Or better yet, prevent it from happening in the first place? Here are ten of the best ways that you can employ to ensure the safety of your loved ones.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>1. Invest in Security Systems</h2>
<p><a href="https://reolink.com/safety-tips-for-single-women-living-alone/">Research</a> indicates that up to 88% of robbers would not attack a house if they realized that it has a surveillance system. Additionally, a highly-experienced security service system will also alert you in case of a fire and even help you in a medical emergency. In conjunction with the outside surveillance system, you should also invest in an indoor security system that streams the feed directly to your phone and you can observe every single room in your house. The <u><a href="https://www.protectyourhome.com/home-security-equipment/adt-pulse-app">ADT Pulse App</a></u> is ideal for this use. This will be highly beneficial in case the burglar is able to bypass the outside system.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>2. Do Not Reveal That You Are a Single Mother to Everyone</h2>
<p>Single moms are easy targets. Whether you are new to a neighborhood or you just made a new friend, it is wise to keep this type of information private. Additionally, as a precaution, change how your name appears in things like your mail, phone number listing and mailboxes to a way that no one can tell whether you are a man or woman. Avoid using the title Miss or Ms. before your name too when it comes to general information about your residence. For instance, a K. Jones would suffice instead of Katie Jones. Another important thing to consider when it comes to privacy is social media. Do not make it obvious that you live alone with your children; there are people with evil intentions out there.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>3. Ensure Doors and Windows are Bolted</h2>
<p>As a single mom, it is perfectly acceptable to develop an O.C.D for making sure that your doors and windows are bolted at all times when you are alone with your child(ren). Installing a peep hole won’t hurt either. If you move into a new house, ensure that you replace the door locks with new ones. You never know who the previous occupants were. Also, if you happen to lose your keys and don’t have spare ones, do not have a locksmith make you another pair, replace the lock. For the spare key, only give it to someone that you trust with your life. Do not go for the old leaving the key under doormat or flower vase routine. Better safe than sorry.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>4. Get a Dog</h2>
<p>Having a four-legged companion will not only add warmth to the home, but is critical in ensuring your safety. Dogs have highly alert senses and can detect an intruder even before your security system does. Obviously, going for a guard dog is the better option. Breeds like Chihuahuas are good as house pets and will alert you in case of anything but let us be honest, they won’t do much in case the intruder breaks in. A guard dog like the German shepherd, on the other hand, is a force to be reckoned with. Not only are they great with the children but are big and aggressive enough to subdue an intruder.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>5. Get to Know Your Neighbor(s)</h2>
<p>Not only is it courteous, but may save your skin at some point. Being a single mom means you are not at home for long hours at a go. Having a neighbor as a friend will ensure that someone will be looking out for you while you are not alone. Additionally, you can join an organization like <a href="http://www.nnw.org/usaonwatch">USAonWatch</a>. It is a program that was designed by the National Sheriff’s Association that allows you to search your area and find a <a href="https://www.protectyourhome.com/blog/articles/2014/march/6-home-security-tips-for-single-moms">local neighborhood watch</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>6. Make a Response Plan</h2>
<p>You never know, you might have the surveillance on point but the intruder breaks in anyway. What do you do? It’s only a good idea to have a plan just in case they do break in. While you’re at it, design a plan for a fire emergency too. This will involve discussing with your children on what actions you will all take in the event something happens. If the children are a bit older, create code words that you will use. You can contact a highly-experienced security service to help you design one. Go over the plan with the kids every once in a while to ensure that they know what to do in case of the emergency. Preparing everyone mentally is also beneficial because in the event something does happen, you won’t be petrified with shock.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>7. Designate a Safe Room</h2>
<p>In the event an intruder does break in, do not attempt to confront them. Choose one of the rooms in your house to be the ‘safe room’ in case of a situation. It could be your bedroom or any other so long as it is strategic. Being strategic means that it is not the first room that the intruder will come across when they are looking for you and also it should have a means of escaping like a fire escape or at least a window. It is also wise to ‘break-proof’ the door to the room so that it can resist forced entry. A highly-experienced security service can help you with this. Also ensure that you have a bit of provisions like water and some snacks in there to help you contain the situation. Eating has a way of calming down people; you do not want your children to be panicked. Additionally, have a phone in this room that you will use to call for help.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>8. Learn How to Engage Intruders</h2>
<p>This will involve taking a bit of self-defense training. This doesn’t mean going John Rambo on the intruder. The best offense is a good defense; hide. If they find you and the police have not arrived yet, do not be panicky; calm down and be cooperative. Also, do not engage them in eye contact, try to be submissive. Often, complying with burglars is more likely to save your skin than trying to be defensive.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>9. Decide How to Arm Yourself</h2>
<p>As a single mom, you are in charge of your children’s protection. Things might get messy and you wish that you had something to defend them with. Check out the state laws on gun possession and decide whether you will have one. Next, learn how to use it. For safety reasons, make sure that when you hide it somewhere in the safe room, it is not loaded. Have the bullets hidden somewhere else. This might seem a bit tenacious but you’d rather have it and not use it than not have it and wish you had it.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>10. Always Research About the Neighborhood Before You Move</h2>
<p>Some places are prone to violence or burglary. In case you have to move your family to a different state, always do a search on its crime rates and read reviews on the area. This will help you make your decision.</p>
<p><br/> Being a single mom means being given more than you can handle. This is what usually makes you strong anyway. So do not be afraid to step up to the task and handle security in your home.

There is little that compares to shrugging off the day’s troubles with a few relaxing laps or a good book and the gentle massage of jacuzzi jets at your back.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The drawback of having a pool is that it doesn’t take much to turn your oasis into a serious health hazard. Between the obvious perils associated with water and hidden risks like waterborne bacteria, keeping your pool safe to use requires discipline and education.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Here are some of the most important safety tips for making sure your family and friends act responsibly around the pool, and establish good habits. If you need more information about water control and cleaning, take a look at the</span> <a href="https://www.pwtag.org.uk/reference/"><span>Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group</span></a> <span>(PWTAG), for helpful guides.</span></p>
<h1 dir="ltr"><span>Design for Safety</span></h1>
<p dir="ltr"><span>It doesn’t matter if your pool is intended to be an opulent centrepiece for your garden, or a haven for the kids to splash around in - there are few design features which you should be including to improve its safety.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Firstly, make sure the depth of the pool is clearly marked around its edge. The distortive effect of water can make it exceptionally difficult to judge the depth of an unknown pool, so an indication of how deep – or shallow – the water is will help to keep children and visitors safe. You may also want to use coloured tiles or signage to show the deepest and shallowest parts of the pool to make it particularly obvious for younger children.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>If your pool or tub is an in-ground design, or you have raised decking around its edge, use non-slip materials and coatings to provide grip to anyone walking around its perimeter. Keep the floor clean and well-maintained so that bathers don’t slip on leaves or trip on uneven tiles.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Look for a SPATA certified pool installer, like</span> <a href="https://www.compass-pools.co.uk/"><span>Compass Pools</span></a><span>, to make sure you’re using a supplier that you can trust to complete your pool to the highest safety standards.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><a href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/1o6pq9S6nl0cPt-i5DEHwwbv*Vvfq-M5pNALif3DP2wXc0BNnBsa97ZnAeoJDg8Pd0kzArZam*Fox73i4uXthqdDqJisVNPc/swimmingpoolnightmare1.jpg" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/1o6pq9S6nl0cPt-i5DEHwwbv*Vvfq-M5pNALif3DP2wXc0BNnBsa97ZnAeoJDg8Pd0kzArZam*Fox73i4uXthqdDqJisVNPc/swimmingpoolnightmare1.jpg?width=700" width="700" class="align-full"/></a></span></p>
<h1 dir="ltr"><span>Put a Lid on It</span></h1>
<p dir="ltr"><span>It’s strongly recommended that you invest in a solid lid or cover for your pool. Not only will this reduce the risk of accidents, but it will help to keep your pool clean and can even contribute to</span> <a href="https://energy.gov/energysaver/swimming-pool-covers"><span>keeping your water warm</span></a><span>. Keep the cover securely closed when the pool is not in use, and even if it’s strong enough to stand on you should discourage people, particularly children, and pets from doing so unnecessarily.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Fencing the pool area off is another excellent way of keeping those using your garden safe, even if you live somewhere that does not enforce strict laws about doing so. Fences should be tall enough that they cannot be easily climbed over, without gaps that could be squeezed through by a child or animal, and entry should be via a lockable gate. Check your local legislation before choosing a fence as you may find there are further legal requirements in your area.</span></p>
<h1 dir="ltr"><span>Be Prepared</span></h1>
<p dir="ltr"><span>We all know that less than two inches of water can be fatal, so it’s important that no matter the size of your pool, spa or hot tub, you don’t get complacent.</span> <a href="https://www.bhf.org.uk/heart-health/how-to-save-a-life/how-to-do-cpr"><span>Familiarise yourself with CPR</span></a><span>, and ensure that any other adults that may be supervising the pool are comfortable with the procedure.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>For full-sized pools, it’s’ also worth investing in some basic safety equipment, like a floatation aid. Shepherd’s hooks are useful too, as they can be used to snare floating objects out of the pool, as well as in life-saving situations. Store these items close to your pool – they won’t be much use in the garage.</span></p>
<h1 dir="ltr"><span>Set Rules and Stick to Them</span></h1>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Of course your swimming pool, plunge pool or hot tub should be used for fun. However, failing to set any kind of rules can lead to some serious safety risks.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>For example, while it may be tempting to grab a cold one and take a plunge, alcohol and swimming do not mix. It takes meticulous cleaning to remove glass shards from a pool, plus the warmth of your hot tub and tipple-induced drowsiness can be a dangerous mix.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Don’t ever leave children unattended while they play in or near water, and be strict about a no-running policy around its edges. It’s also wise to limit the number of toys and inflatables allowed in the water at a given time; too many distractions can make it hard to spot when weaker swimmers are struggling.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Establishing</span> <a href="http://www.speedo.com/uk/en/explore/blog/holiday-swim/3bb88aec-b145-4d83-8b00-84bff3887d76.html"><span>swimming pool rules</span></a> <span>may seem like a bore, but making sure that your family and guests stick to the simple safety requirements will ensure your swim session stay fun.</span></p>
<h1 dir="ltr"><span>Tidy Up After Yourselves</span></h1>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Finally, at the end of your session make sure you pick up everything lying in and around the water, and always cover the pool back up. Too many accidents happen when people, infants and pets try to retrieve litter or a toy from the edge of the pool, and then lose their balance. Be tidy; be safe.</span></p>
